This makes the purchasing price *6,400,000, the Fitchbwg stook being worth C140 a share, while the and Boston stock was considered almost worthless. The price is thought te be very high.

The second controller has decided that an enlisted soldier discharged before tbe expiration of his tarm because of disability result, ing from sunstroke is entitled to bounty the same as it the disability waa tbe result of a wound. "My wife and two children were burned up in the wreck." It now seems to b* very generally oonceded among members of the house of representatives that Hon. 8. 8.

He alighted in a mow bank, dislocating his knee, but being otherwise uninjured. Hie fireman arose to Jump, bat was too late, and two iron beams caught him at the hips, crashing him. and holding him ten foet in the air, where he was suspended three hours, when death came to hfs relief. The man then started on, and Mr. Westerhouse thought lis must be a person out of his mind. It's more than probable that the man told the truth. He was probably an immigrant, and his family perishing in the flames unbalanced his mind, aud he started out not knowing where ke wont. The Legislator* H ut D**ld*. Indianapolis, Jan. 5.—The supremo court has affirmed the decision of the circuit court in the Green -Smith- Robinson injunction cass, without a dissenting opinion. The case involves title to th* lieutenant governorship of Indiana.

Tha scene now beggared description. From tha smoking ear issued cries, groans, and prayers. The passengers in tha regular coach were all thrown from their seats mors or less injured. One young lady fell on a stove and a man had his hand tegribly burned ia rescuing her. It is feared that Mrs. Postlathw*ite will lose her reason from the shock. At one blow she has been bereft of husband, sons and property, and left alone in a strange country with three helpless babes and only flfty cents in money. The coroner has taken oharge of the remains, but will find it difficult to reader a verdict from the fact that as soon at the injured passengers could be landed on a train they ware takan by the railway officials to Chicago Junction and sent on their way. An evening paper states that Representative Farquhar, on th* part of th* printers' unions, is opposing the confirmation of Public Printer Benedict, and that, th* opposition is based entirely upon th* ground that Mr. Benedict is not a practical printer.

Aitoemoit, Ind., Jan. 5.—Ths boiler of the large elevator and flouring mills of Newton House, at El wood, exploded, Instantly killing the miller, Joseph Redd, and the engineer, Dill Lyst, and seriansly wounding George Redd, second miller. The explosion did considerable damage to the depot and the surroundlftg dwellings. Joseph Redd leaves % wife and two children, and Lyst a wife and one child. The loss to property is considerable.
